I'm writing tickets. What to expect?
If there was some point to this, besides fleecing us, we'll never know. No disrespect intended for any particular cop, but we have far too many cops enforcing silly rules. Next we can't talk on cell phones while driving. The government wants to feel you up to get on an airplane. We have long since abandoned freedom for "safety". There is way too much being done in the name of "safety" and that mindset is what causes people to think they can dictate gun laws in the name of "safety", even if the laws are actually counter-productive. Until we stop dictating "safety", and allow people to take responsibility for the risk in their lives, we are not going to have any relief on the gun law front. If society feels they can tell you whether you can have a GPS on your dash, they certainly believe they can control your access to weapons.

Why No On Invades Switzerland
The best example is Finland. Basically the same deal with every adult male in the reserves and keeping their weapon at home. Only one country ever tried to invade them. That was Russia in 1940. The Finns killed 1 million Russians before Stalin had to throw in the towel. No one has been stupid enough to try it since. I believe no one has invaded Switerland in something like 400 years.

I'm writing tickets. What to expect?
The ticket was nonsense and her driving isn't going to be any better for the experience. If it was knocked down from something else, the moron failed to explain it. However, that is not the point. We seem to feel that as a society we can dictate all sorts of minor rules, right mountains of laws, hire way too many police to enforce them, and after all this telling other people how to live act outraged when those people think they have a say over our gun rights, what we can own, where we can use them, how we carry or transport them, etc. If you want to keep your gun rights, start by being a bit tolerant of someone who might just be having a bad day.

I'm writing tickets. What to expect?
My step-daughter was given a ticket for having a GPS on the dash. The LEO cited it as "Obstructed Vision". There must be millions of people driving while blind. I'm satisfied that wwe have far too much traffic enforcement. We could cut the number of police in half, use them to deal with actual crime, and probably not have much more in the way of accidents. BTW: My family is now avoiding the town that issued that citation, to the disadvantage of some fine merchants that have their businesses there. Who needs the risk of more BS tickets?

Probably gonna be put on walking post for sticking up for fellow gun enthusiast..
I have a simple question here. If someone who is not a prohibited person has a gun in their own home, there is no requirement for paperwork. Maybe he bought it with a PPP years in the past but hasn't got a copy handy, so he can't produce it. So an LEO asks for paperwork and the guy says "I have no idea what you're talking about." What comes next? Taking his gun is theft.

Buying Vs. Being given a pistol
Assuming the father is willing to wait 30 days to make the gift, just wait. If for some reason there is a rush, ask for an extension on the permits.

People moving out of NJ
Take a drive through some less desirable neighborhoods. The population is declining, but the bottom end of the housing stock is where you'll see it.

New York has been losing people for decades. New Jersey used to be the place New Yorkers fled to. We fixed that problem.

Anyone have or know a QUALITY body shop?
Check out restoration shops as opposed to autobody shops for quality work. You'll pay for it though.

TSA saves us again
I don't want to hijack the thread, but this is government involvement with aviation. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/crime-scene/post/faa-head-randy-babbitt-charged-with-drunk-driving-in-fairfax/2011/12/05/gIQAkNjdWO_blog.html If you get a drunk driving arrest, they yank your pilot's license.

Sen Weinberg and her anti CCW proposal
I think a good example would be immigration. If a state passes an immigration related law, it gets sued, e.g. AZ, UT, AL.

NJ MVC security
Of course if they were properly staffed there wouldn't be a line. You'd just walk in and take care of business. I wonder if this is the same guy telling people their Social Security cards can't be laminated? Mine was laminated around 1970 before all the 6 points BS.

Gun Safe Mover Recommendation
If you own the house and you are selling, sell the safe with the house. Buy a new safe at the new house.
